TCI Physical Interventions Criteria & Safety 2

Question 1

According to TCI, when is a physical intervention JUSTIFIED?

Accepted Answer

Only when there is an imminent risk of serious harm to the young person or others, and less restrictive options have failed

Answer

TCI strictly limits physical intervention to situations of imminent serious harm where all other approaches have been exhausted.

Question 2

During a physical intervention in TCI, staff must continuously monitor:

Accepted Answer

The young person's breathing, color, and overall physical condition throughout the intervention

Answer

Continuous monitoring of breathing, color, and physical condition is critical during any physical intervention to detect signs of distress or medical emergency.

Question 3

TCI physical interventions are designed to be:

Accepted Answer

Non-pain-compliant and as brief as possible

Answer

TCI physical interventions are explicitly non-pain-compliant and should be as brief as possible - using the minimum force needed for safety.

Question 4

Which of the following is a CONTRAINDICATION for using a physical restraint in TCI?

Accepted Answer

There is a known medical condition that makes restraint particularly dangerous for this young person

Answer

Known medical conditions that increase the risk of restraint - such as respiratory conditions, cardiovascular issues, or bone fragility - are critical contraindications.

Question 5

The phrase least restrictive in relation to TCI physical interventions means:

Accepted Answer

Applying only as much physical intervention as is necessary to ensure safety, no more

Answer

Least restrictive means using precisely the amount and type of physical intervention that is necessary and sufficient - never exceeding what safety requires.
